On the 28th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. At the meeting, a reporter asked a question: Some analysts said that the epidemic of new crown pneumonia may have an impact on the military's ability to prepare for war, how do you think about this?
Wu Qian pointed out that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the entire army has focused on the prevention and control of the epidemic and training on the one hand, to minimize the impact of the epidemic on military training, and strive to achieve "two correctness" in training and preparation for the epidemic. Five major measures have been taken:
The first is to adjust the annual training tasks in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, make reasonable arrangements based on a comprehensive assessment of the impact, and suspend some major training activities.
The second is to establish a training order suitable for the prevention and control of the epidemic, scientifically control the training venue, time and personnel, and closely organize training of heads of institutions, basic training in military technology and tactics, and individual study and research.
The third is to organize troop training by differentiating the risk level of the epidemic, and the large-scale centralized training of strictly controlled personnel in the key areas of the epidemic. The areas with the lighter epidemic rely on solid training in the camp and surrounding closed training sites to carry out basic training.
The fourth is to explore ways and methods of teaching group training during the innovative epidemic, adopt flexible grouping, step-by-step implementation, and parallel deployment, and focus on the use of information and intelligence to carry out teaching and training activities to ensure training quality and effectiveness.
The fifth is to strengthen the prevention and control of epidemic situations during training, establish and improve measures for epidemic prevention during training, supervise the implementation of various prevention and control requirements, and ensure the implementation of troop training and preparations with its own epidemic prevention safety.
Wu Qian said that the People's Army has always undertaken diversified missions such as rescue and disaster relief, and emergency rescue. This is a duty assigned by Chinese law. In this sudden epidemic prevention and control fight, the army's all-out effort to fight the epidemic is the purpose, the people's needs, and the mission. The army's officers and soldiers will always continue to fight against the "epidemic" without slackening and preparing for war. For the work of epidemic prevention and control and training, prepare a qualified answer sheet to the party and the people.
